OBJECTIVES Two studies examined how young adults from historically advantaged (Study 1) and disadvantaged (Studies 1 and 2) racial groups perceived agentic and communal traits of their group over time. Consistent with previous research on dynamic stereotypes of gender, disadvantaged groups were expected to perceive significant gains in agentic traits from the past to the present. This tendency was expected to increase with ethnic identification. METHOD In Study 1, White American (n = 226) and African and Latinx American (n = 60) students at a predominantly White private college in the Midwestern United States participated in an online survey. In Study 2, African American (n = 137) and Latinx American (n = 167) young adults were recruited primarily via an online platform (www.prolific.co) to complete an online survey. RESULTS In both studies, African and Latinx Americans attributed significantly lower levels of agency to past ingroup members than to present members. Although ethnic identification was not correlated with the difference between present and past agencies, it was more strongly correlated with present agency than with past agency for both groups. These patterns were not observed among White Americans. CONCLUSIONS Similar to women, African and Latinx Americans perceived significant gains in agentic traits of their group members from the past to the present. These perceptions may serve the needs of historically disadvantaged groups for a positive social identity by affirming how far the ingroup has come.

对非洲裔、拉丁裔和白人美国人的动态刻板印象。

目标 两项研究调查了历史上处于优势（研究 1）和处于劣势（研究 1 和 2）种族群体的年轻人如何随着时间的推移感知他们群体的代理和公共特征。与先前关于动态性别刻板印象的研究一致，预计弱势群体从过去到现在都会感受到代理特征的显着进步。预计这种趋势会随着种族认同而增加。方法 在研究 1 中，美国中西部一所以白人为主的私立大学的美国白人 (n = 226) 以及非洲和拉丁美洲 (n = 60) 学生参加了一项在线调查。在研究 2 中，主要通过在线平台 (www.prolific.co) 招募非裔美国人 (n = 137) 和拉丁美洲 (n = 167) 年轻人来完成在线调查。结果 在这两项研究中，非洲裔和拉丁裔美国人认为过去的内群体成员的能动性水平明显低于现在的成员。虽然种族认同与现在和过去机构之间的差异没有相关性，但对于两组而言，它与现在机构的相关性比与过去机构的相关性更强。在美国白人中没有观察到这些模式。结论 与女性相似，非洲裔和拉丁裔美国人认为他们的群体成员从过去到现在的代理特征都有显着提高。通过肯定内群体已经走了多远，这些看法可能会满足历史上处于不利地位的群体对积极社会认同的需求。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
